  <a href="http://www.mediamonkey.com">MediaMonkey</a> is an excellent media library and player for Windows. It has a number of really nice features, including portable device synchronization.
  </p>
  <p>Unfortunately, MediaMonkey doesn't (yet) support downloading podcasts, so I have written this script to hopefully add some of the functionality that is missing.</p>

  <h2><a name="Installation" id="Installation"></a>Installation</h2>
  <p>To install the script, simply run the MSI install package. You will also need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 if you do not already have it. The installer will detect if you need to download the framework, and provide you with a link to the download page.</p>
  <p>The framework can be downloaded manually from here:</p>
  <p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&amp;displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&amp;displaylang=en</a> </p>

  <h3>The following questions refer to version 0.2 - they are no longer relevant to version 0.3 and above. </h3>
  <p>Q: Which MediaMonkey.ini file do I need to edit?</p>
  <p>A: There are two MediaMonkey.ini files - one is in the MediaMonkey install directory, the other is in My Documents/My Music/MediaMonkey - that's the one you need to change.</p> 
 <hr>
  <p>Q: What is the format in the mediamonkey.ini for a
podcast rss feed?</p>

    <p>A: The format is:<br/>
<pre>
[Podcasts]
Count=x
Title1=[title]
URL1=[url]
Title2
...
Titlex=[title]
URLx=[url]
AutoDownload=2
UpdateFrequency=12
</pre>

<p>Where X is the number of podcasts defined, 
  AutoDownload is how many episodes to automatically download from each podcast feed, and UpdateFrequency is in hours. URLs should point to Podcast RSS feeds.
